| field validation of a milk line sampling device for monitoring milk quality and udder health. | the objective of this study was to investigate the ability of a milk line sampling device to obtain a representative sample by comparing scc and bacterial culture results between milk line and bulk tank samples for milk harvested from the same group of cows at the same milking. a total of 42 paired milk line and bulk tank samples were collected at separate milking events from 21 different herds. concordance correlation coefficients showed a high level of agreement between the two sample types, w ... | 2002 | 12146478 |
